John sits down with Fran Walsh, Peter Jackson and Philippa
Boyens to discuss their new film Mortal Engines, and their approach
to writing as a team, worldbuilding, and rewriting through
production, because one does not simply walk into Mordor.

We also answer audience questions about the difference between
ideas for television and movies, and working through dialogue out
loud.
